Another ‘Ground Hog Day’! Barbel 4 to 6.5lbs. Chub 2 to 4lbs. Other eel. The barbel don’t seem to want to feed in earnest, I expect that will all change in the Summer! Many thanks to WUF and the various Landowners of the beats i have fished this season swims well strimmed and access mostly good

Up at Sparrows fart, jobs all nailed, two bookings confirmed up in the Elan Valley later this season ... A real fleece kind of day ...13 degrees, on and off drizzle ... where to go ??? Just for a couple of hours , drove to Llanddewi, bottom parking free, carried on to bridge parking further on .... thar was free too, sorted !!!
Fished just that section from above the no fish zone, where ever the signs are, I kind of swag it ya know !!!! Lol !!! Anyway started there right on up to the top of thr beat, coloured water, but good to see it pushing through, fishing dries in the runs of about a foot deep were buzzing this morning !!! Lots missed, but managed seven to my net, and another three coming off ... gggrrrrrrr, one was a decent brownie too .... oh well, cest la vie !!
This rain has come at a perfect time for the rivers in fairness, the Ithon was certainly in need of a flush through. Only a couple of hours from midday to just gone two .. Managed to rain dodge the heavy stuff , looked like heading back some deeper puddles on the A44 that looked recent !!! So I didn't do toooooo bad for this short session. Fun as always here, kingfisher up and down twice.... I wonder how tricky they find coloured up water ????
Anyway a fun session, fish all about seven or eight inches, nothing big today, back to The Ponderosa and a large Baileys Coffee me thinks, before a decent three mile run later ..... Happy days !!!

Just popped for a few hours in the midday and managed to winkle out a beautiful 7 1/2 lbs barbel. River looks ideal and weather was overcast. Nice beat.

One 7lb Barbel early in the day from the woods end of the beat (upstream) on feeder with spam hookbait. Two eels, one from the same spot and another from the southern end beach (spam and maggots).

Fishing Passport Note : This beat has a dispensation for the use of maggots (outside of 15th September and 14th March).
